FAQs
Q: Do I need accounting experience to use the Strata-G calculators?
A: Not at all! Strata-G is designed for business owners, not accountants. It’s easy to use and explains everything clearly.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Most users complete their first draft of inputs – their "best guesstimates"– in about 20–30 minutes. And you’ll see results instantly. Then, each "What if...?" adjustment you make happens in real time; adjust an input, immediately see the impact on profits, your buying plan, and cash flow.
Q: Is there a monthly option?
A: Yes, if you prefer. You can choose to access The ROI on a month-to-month basis for $39.95/month. Your credit card would be charged each month rather than just once a year.
